TechCrunch Meetup. Tonight. San Diego.

Tonight, at 6:00, TechCrunch is taking over the Block 16 on 7th Ave. for an evening of good times and startup pitches. After sorting through over a hundred applications, we selected 20 companies to take part in a rapid-fire pitch-off competition to be judged by TechCrunch editors and local VCs.

There are still a few tickets left for the event. We will also sell a handful at the door, but by cash only. They’re $5 and include a couple of drinks. 21 and older only, please.

These meetups are part pitch-off competition and part meet-your-neighbors shindig. They are very casual. Tonight, nearly a thousand entrepreneurs, tech fans and venture capitalists will be gathered under one roof. Come with your pitch deck locked and loaded, and a pocket full of business cards. Tonight’s going to be epic. There ain’t no party like a TechCrunch party.
